I wanna go home ... I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Last night I went to sleep ... in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
I dreamed about my mother ... old papa sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long
I wanna go home .... I wanna go home ... oh how I wanna go home
Intro
Homefolks think I'm big ... in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars ... by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
I wanna go home ... I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Intro
'Cause you know I rode the freight train north ... to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride ... and put it on a Southbound freight and ride
And go on back to the loved ones ... the ones that I left waitin' so far behind
I wanna go home ... I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
I wanna go home ... I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
